I got out the old Rand McNally Road Atlas out of curiousity the other day and discovered I've visited 44 of the fifty states at one time or other. All (or at least most) have something to recommend them.
I'm a Midwesterner by birth (although here in Colorado, they consider Ohio part of the East), and can't help but love the people, the work ethic, the friendliness and the incredible diversity, not only of the population, but of the things that the cities and country have to offer -- from heavy industry to family farms.
That's probably why they call it the Heartland.
There are lots of places I've been and things I've seen that I really love -- but, in my heart, I'll always consider myself an Ohioan, loaned to Colorado.
And, of the places I've lived, the only one I would seriously consider moving back to is Athens, Ohio -- the prototypical college town in the beautiful Hocking Hills/Rural Applachian foothills of Southeastern Ohio.
